Telling a Remarkable Story

aa

alk the halls of our corporate ofce, or look around the lobbies and corridors of Baptist Memorial Hospital-Memphis, and you cant help but notice

the pieces from our past. Youll see photos of the hospital, some dating back to our rst, 150-bed structure in 1912. In the hospital lobby youll see a timeline spanning every decade of our history. One wall in our corporate ofce is tiled in green marble salvaged from our former medical center in Midtown Memphis. Other walls are lined with names, plaques and photographs of people who provided indispensable leadership throughout the years. In our corporate boardroom and in the chapel at Baptist Memorial Hospital-Memphis, you can see stained glass from the original chapel at the medical center hospital. In my own ofce are a copper box and its contents a time capsule from the opening of the Baptist Memorial Hospital Medical Centers Madison

A Letter From the President and CEO

2012 and 2013 were landmark years for Baptist Memorial Health Care. We celebrated 100 years as the leading health care provider in the Mid-South. Baptist was built on a vision from a group of leaders who sought to ll the need of health care in this community, and we are excited to expand that vision into the next 100 years. As we move into the next century of care, we are looking for the best and most up-to-date resources to provide patient and familycentered care. We invite you to read about how we celebrated our centennial with special partnerships across the Mid-South and how we are beginning initiatives to continue to improve patient care throughout the system. Youll also discover a few ways we have supported the communities we serve. As the largest not-forprot health care provider in the Mid-South with 14 affiliate hospitals, we consider it a blessing to be able to support all of our communities. Providing community benet is one of the most important ways we fulll our mission, mirroring the three-fold ministry of Christhealing, preaching and teaching.

As we prepare our facilities for the evolving world of health care, we want to continue providing our patients with the best care available. Thats why we are building and expanding all over the systemfrom a new, 680,000-square-foot facility in Oxford, Miss.; to a new, integrated cancer center in Memphis; and our new NEA Baptist Memorial Hospital, NEA Baptist Clinic headquarters and NEA Baptist Cancer Center in Jonesboro, Ark., to name a few.

What remains unchanged, however, is our vision of being the provider of choice by transforming the delivery of health care through partnering with patients, families, physicians, colleagues and employers; and by offering safe, integrated, patient-focused, high quality, innovative and cost-effective care. We look forward to carrying our founding vision into the future, and we look forward to you joining us in our second century of health care.

Centennial Speaker Series

In celebration of our 100th anniversary, Baptist Memorial Health Care hosted several events throughout 2012 for colleagues, retirees, alumni, family members and the community to commemorate this important milestone. One of the special events was the yearlong Baptist Centennial Speaker Series, featuring special guest speakers with a variety of relevant topics for Baptist colleagues and the community. Oscar-winning actress Marlee Matlin (left), the youngest and the only deaf actress to win the Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role, visited the 40-bed neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Baptist Memorial Hospital for Women as part of her Speaker Series appearance. The NICU is where we treat babies who are born premature or have complications, such as heart defects or underdeveloped lungs. The 500 babies born in the unit each year represent about 10 percent of the babies born at Baptist Womens Hospital. Matlin delivered a message of hope and encouragement to children and families during her visit and her speech at the event beneting the NICU. Former NFL coach and current commentator Tony Dungy (bottom left) inspired colleagues. Baptist strives to promote a culture that values the uniqueness of the individual, the diversity of the work force, and encourages the accomplishment of corporate goals. Dungy spoke about being uncommon and about diversity in the workplace. Nearly 26 million children and adults in the United States have diabetes.

The third part of the NEA Baptist System is the Baptist Cancer Center. The new center will offer leading-edge technology to diagnose cancer and to plan and deliver treatment. In addition, physicians will have easier access to their patients records and can conveniently coordinate care with hospital staff. Physician offices will be on the same oor as inpatient hospital units, making it easier for them to visit patients. This integrated approach is the future of patient care because of its efficiency and responsiveness to patient needs. NEA Baptist uses electronic health records and delivers a more responsive, personal approach to diagnosis and treatment. Forming a strong, physician-directed and professionally managed health care system is a natural next step and will provide high-quality, cost-effective care to the Northeast Arkansas community far into the future.

Baptist Operation Outreach mobile health care

Access to health care is a major obstacle for individuals and families without permanent housing. Memphis only mobile primary health care program, the Baptist Operation Outreach health care clinic for the homeless, provides broader access to health resources; encourages people to break the cycle of health neglect; and provides health care prevention, intervention and education to a vulnerable population. The program is a partnership between Baptist Memorial Health Care and Christ Community Health Services, and it has provided quality, patient-focused primary/acute care for homeless individuals since 2003. In 2013, a $360,000 grant awarded by the Baptist Memorial Health Care Foundation provided a new Baptist Operation Outreach mobile health care clinic to treat homeless patients in the Mid-South.

The clinic provides direct and immediate access to medical and health care examinations, health education, illness prevention, medications, transportation to medical appointments and referral services to the homeless population in Memphis and Shelby County. The clinic has effectively reduced the number of inpatient hospitalizations, emergency room visits and ambulance transports for many years. The new mobile unit with an additional exam room will expand medical services and provide for training for medical professionals through internships and clinical rotations.

Since 2003, our partnership with Baptist Operation Outreach makes it possible to offer access to great quality medical care to our most vulnerable and neediest population. Burt Waller, former executive director, Christ Community Health Services
